How physicians think: a case-based diagnostic simulation exercise.
Gupta A, Quinn M, Saint S, et al. The variability in how physicians think: a casebased diagnostic simulation exercise. Diagnosis (Berl). 2021;8(2):167-175. doi:10.1515/dx-2020-0010.
This article describes the use of a case-based simulation to explore how physicians reason, create differential diagnoses, and ultimately achieve a correct diagnosis. Participating physicians who achieved the correct diagnosis (herpes zoster) utilized systems-based or anatomic approaches, rather than focuses on life-threatening diagnoses alone, and employed debiasing strategies.
